Common Questions

Do I need to be home for the visit?

Usually yes, or someone with access to the inside of the home, the water meter, and the main shutoff. Confirm with the provider when scheduling.

My bill doubled but I don’t see water anywhere. Where could it be going?

Toilets, irrigation, pool autofill, and slab or underground supply leaks are the most common invisible sources. Start with the meter test, then check toilets with the dye test.

Will my water provider credit my bill?

Some providers offer leak adjustments after a repair, but eligibility and amounts vary. Ask your provider and keep your repair documentation.
